Is the platform available to residents
As of June 2026 Crypto.com is available to residents of Brazil. It runs a localised Brazilian service through its app and website, where users can register, pass know your customer checks, fund in Brazilian reais, and trade across a large list of assets including Bitcoin and Ether.
Crypto.com presents itself in Brazil as a regulated payments and trading service and has stated that it holds a payment institution authorisation that supports its fiat wallet features. Because Brazil is phasing in a new authorisation regime for virtual asset service providers, confirm the platform's current authorisation status with the Banco Central do Brasil before acting (as of June 2026).
The regulator and the framework
Brazil regulates virtual asset service providers through the Banco Central do Brasil under Law 14.478 of 2022, while the Comissão de Valores Mobiliários supervises tokens that are deemed securities. This gives Brazil a defined route for a platform to operate lawfully (as of June 2026).
On 10 November 2025 the Banco Central do Brasil published resolutions numbered 519, 520, and 521 that set out a fuller authorisation regime, which took effect on 2 February 2026. Under the new rules a foreign platform serving Brazilians is expected to operate through a local subsidiary or an authorised local partner, and existing providers are required to apply for authorisation by 20 October 2026. Because the regime is being phased in, confirm a given platform's status with the central bank (as of June 2026).
How residents access the platform
Residents access Crypto.com in Brazil through its mobile app and website after completing identity verification, which the Brazilian anti money laundering regime requires. Funding in Brazilian reais is supported, and the country's instant payment system, known as Pix, is a common way users move money in and out.
The product set centres on buying, selling, and holding a broad list of crypto assets, with additional features such as a card programme and savings style products offered in some cases and subject to local rules. The exact products, supported assets, and fee schedule change over time, so confirm what is offered to a Brazilian account before trading (as of June 2026).
Tax treatment
Tax on crypto for Brazilian residents is administered by the Receita Federal do Brasil. This page does not give tax advice. For how crypto is treated in Brazil in general terms, see the Brazil tax page, and confirm your own position with a qualified local professional before filing.
Crypto.com is one of several platforms available to Brazilian residents, alongside Binance, Coinbase, KuCoin, and others. Availability and funding methods vary, so compare the exchanges that are genuinely available in Brazil before you choose.
Every availability status here is dated and checked against the named regulator's public register. We never place a link to a platform where it is not available.
